Hey all,

Yes it’s been a while since I have done a tutorial on here been busy and all. I have decided to do a tutorial
on installing Fedora over VNC smile.gif the reason for this is because its getting pritty known now so here goes...


First place your Fedora Core CD into your CD-ROM and boot it up, once you have booted up you should
see Fedoras welcome message and have a boot prompt like:

CODE
boot:


You will need to pass the vnc parameter to the boot prompt as shown below:

CODE
boot: linux vnc


Thats it once you hit enter just follow a few steps and VNC is ready to go. Open up your VNC
viewer and type the machines IP and the port of 1 so it should look like this:

CODE
192.168.0.2:1


You should now be able to connect to the VNC installation.

The above works fine if you’re working on a secure network but who can trust anyone these days??
when at the boot prompt I would suggest you issue the vncpassword parameter so it should look like:

CODE
boot: linux vnc vncpassword=Th1s1s4p4ssw0rd


Replace "Th1s1s4p4ssw0rd" with your password. Now this time when you VNC into the machine you will be prompt for a password. biggrin.gif its a little more
secure, but you could try using VNC tunneling, have a read of anywebs tutorial on VNC +SSH

Anywebs VNC and SSH

If anyone does try VNC +SSH Tunneling let me know if it worked biggrin.gif
